Pear Pomegranate Sangria

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Pear Pomegranate Sangria

Ahh… Monday. Here we go again! Let’s make this Monday a little brighter and chat about this sangria, shall we? Sipping on this sangria is a bit like an antioxidant kick in the pants. That ruby red color provides a lot of cancer fighting power! 

Pear Pomegranate Sangria

Red wine, and alcohol in general, has been associated with lowered rates of heart disease risk. (When not consumed in excess of course.) Alcohol can help increase good “HDL” cholesterol – as much as 12% in those who have 1-2 drinks per day. Red wine in particular appears to have some anti-clotting properties – important for preventing stroke in those at risk. (Source) In addition to the benefits of the red wine, pomegranates are also high in similar antioxidants as well as vitamin C. 

Pear Pomegranate Sangria

This sangria is perfect for welcoming fall. Pomegranate season is just now starting and I couldn’t be more excited to start using them again in all kinds of recipes! Thanks to Dreaming Tree for providing me with a sample which I used when I developed this recipe – it was perfect for this combination of fruit.

    I love that you used pomegranate! My body can’t process alcohol, but this sounds delicious. Maybe I can pour myself a glass of pomegranate juice with some cinnamon, pears, and oranges and pretend it’s a virgin version of this sangria?
